§ 14028 Loan Authorization Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can only give out up to $25 million in loans for projects in 3 months.
  • •The state won't approve a loan unless they think the person asking can pay it back.
  • •The state can ask the Public Utilities Commission for advice on whether the person can really pay back the loan.

Example

A company wants to borrow $10 million from the state to build a new factory.

The state will check if the company can pay back the $10 million. If the state already gave out $20 million in loans this quarter, they can still approve this loan because $20 million + $10 million = $30 million, which is under the $25 million limit. Wait, no—that’s over the limit! So the state would say no or wait until next quarter.

At the request of the department, the Public Utilities Commission shall furnish comments concerning the ability of suppliers subject to its jurisdiction to finance the project from other sources and the ability to repay the loan.
